28 “ The wicked flee when no man pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion. 2 Because of the transgression of a land, many are its princes; but by a man of understanding and knowledge, it shall be prolonged. 3 A poor man who oppresses the poor is like a sweeping rain that leaves no food. 4 Those who forsake instruction praise the wicked, but such as keep instruction contend with them. 5 Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lor

27 “ Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth. 2 Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips. 3 A stone is heavy and the sand weighty, but a fool’s wrath is heavier than them both. 4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous, but who is able to stand before envy? 5 Open rebuke is better than secret love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are

26 “ As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not seemly for a fool. 2 As the bird by flitting, as the swallow by flying, so the curse without cause will not alight. 3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool’s back. 4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like unto him. 5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. 6 He who sends a message by the hand of

25 “ These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied. 2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honor of kings is to search out a matter. 3 As the heaven for height, and the earth for depth, so the heart of kings is unsearchable. 4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there will come forth a vessel for the refiner. 5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne will be established in righteousn

Saying Twenty 24 Do not be envious against evil men, nor desire to be with them; 2 for their heart studies destruction, and their lips talk of mischief. Saying Twenty-One 3 Through wisdom is a house built, and by understanding it is established; 4 and by knowledge the rooms will be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. Saying Twenty-Two 5 A wise man is strong; yes, a man of knowledge increases strength. 6 For by wise counsel you will wage you

Saying Seven 23 When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you; 2 and put a knife to your throat, if you are a man given to appetite. 3 Be not desirous of his delicacies, for they are deceptive food. Saying Eight 4 Do not labor to be rich; cease from your own wisdom. 5 Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. Saying Nine 6 Do not eat

1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold. 2 The rich and poor have this in common, the Lord is the maker of them all. 3 A prudent man foresees the evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and are punished. 4 By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honor, and life. 5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse; he who guards his soul will be far from them. 6 Train up a

What are you holding onto? Or better yet, who are you holding on to? Look at the love that surrounds. Life can throw some serious curve balls. Some start out life on a curve ball. For others a curve is introduced early in life. And yet there are several different types of pitches thrown between each curve ball. Life is not a still life picture. It is flowing daily. We can choose to go with the flow and grow in a positive way or we can hold onto life’s many curves balls that t
